Neither Americans nor Europeans understand that the main problem we have to deal with is the serious approach of the present geopolitical environment and not a highfalutin rhetoric. Accepting states with poor military resources means to put NATO in an awkward situation so as not to be able to protect them or to take the right political military decision. It does not have the ability to analyze the actual situation on the spot. Russia is deeply interested in maintaining the system that ensures security and economic prosperity. Any other extra claims would cause either an international crisis or Russian diplomacy to establish exactly what the risks are that imply Russia’s interests. Unlike Europe, Russia has a dual policy, which combines the power of software with a hardware component. This is what NATO lacks is.
